Beringer enjoyed continued success in 2011, despite a slight drop in volume, as the business looked to expand beyond its core US market. In the US growth was led by Beringer Light & Refreshing (Moscatos) and Luxury tiers. In Europe the brand experienced a packaging refresh and the launch of Beringer Classics in the UK.

The brand activated industry-leading platforms, such as the PGA golf tour. At the top end there was continued critical acclaim for Beringer luxury wines. Score highlights include 2009 Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and 2009 Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.

Beringer Vineyards was founded in 1875 and is “the oldest continously operating winery in the Napa Valley.”

In 2001, the estate was placed on the National Register for Historic Places as a Historic District and was the first Californian winery to offer public tours in 1934.

Thanks for sharing. Great inspiration to the wine business. It is tough even to grow a brand to a million case level. Australia and US brands have really made it happen on the Global state. I wont be surprised to see a brand from Argentina in the list in few years. What you can take from here is ‘price, product, package and promotion’ makes it happen if you want to build the brand. We also want to add penetration separately here as lot of credit goes to their importers and distributors.

they are the top 10 BRANDS?? it is keating! Brands may include several different wines under it, if top Brand, which means all wines under that brand are top? if you say 10 top RED WINES, or 10 top WHITE WINES, or even 10 top Moscato/Shiraz (any particular taste), I would think it is more relavent and believeable.

@ricky johnston I think Ricky has a good point! I understand this includes both on-trade and off-trade! I think a ranking like this, but done according to value instead of volume could be very interesting, and im sure a french wine would pop into the ranking!
